Psychotherapy-Meditation- Embodiment
About
Heart racing? Shortness of breath or a tightness in your chest? Racing thoughts and worries? Or maybe a sense of shutting down, feeling numb, and not knowing how you got from one destination to the next. Anxiety, depression, and trauma can cause us to feel uncomfortable in our own skin, unable to enjoy simple things in life such as going out to dinner, being at work or school, sleeping, or even relaxing at home with friends or family. Anxiety, depression, and trauma can take control of our lives, but with talk therapy and skills training (meditation, yoga, and embodiment techniques) you can gain the power back!
​
I am a mindfulness based somatic therapist that will provide you with talk therapy and coping techniques that are EFFECTIVE and ADAPTABLE to your everyday life. If you've tried talk therapy and felt as though you needed something more, skills training for embodiment and meditation could be the missing pieces you've been looking for.
Talk + Skills Training = Change
​
I am here to support you on your journey for peace, balance, and contentment. You are the one in control. I look forward to supporting you on your path to healing!

Mindful Embodiment Training
MEDITATION FOR MENTAL HEALTH
LEARN HOW TO FEEL BALANCED AND CENTERED WITH MEDITATION
A lack of awareness of our breath and thoughts can lead us to feeling anxious, overwhelmed, and feeling controlled and trapped by things we cannot see
​
Meditation trains you in becoming a master at finding your center with breath awareness, concentration, and focus
Everyone has the power to meditate!
ALLOW MEDITATION TO STRENGTHEN YOUR RESILIENCE TO STRESS, ANXIETY, AND PANIC
Where attention goes energy flows!
Talk Therapy
Talk therapy has been proven to help reduce the symptoms of various mental health issues and concerns
In session you are in control of what we talk about and the pace at which we discuss certain issues. I am here as a support for you in your journey for healing and can provide suggestions for topic direction
My therapeutic orientation is mindfulness based cognitive-behavioral. I find that when you incorporate meditation, embodiment, and yoga into treatment, talking about mental health concerns can become much easier
Let's Talk about it!
Embodiment Training
Mindful embodiment comes from mindful movement with the body. This is when we make a movement on purpose with present awareness
We move everyday but most of the time on autopilot, acting without thinking. This leads to a continuation of anxiety, depression, and a disconnection from self and others
Mindful embodiment is a movement that connects you to your authentic self allowing you to heal unprocessed emotions and let go of old emotional responses that no longer serve you
Examples of embodiment techniques include grounding, dragging, tapping, shaking, and other various movement to bring fascial awakening
You must move the tissues to heal the issues!
Restorative
Yoga
​
Restorative yoga is a deeply relaxing style of yoga practice. Poses are held from five to ten minutes. During this time you are held and supported by blankets, blocks, or bolsters (pillows)
You will enter into a state of deep relaxation. This is where you can let go of those deep holding patterns in your body and find a state of balance, allowing your body to heal
ND Wellness uses yoga for your holistic healing and incorporates yoga movement in conjunction with breathing, meditation, and embodiment techniques
